How We Met
Alright, it is time we came clean. Yes, we did meet on the internet! We found ourselves doing what is considered the new normal of the last few generations by creating dating profiles on apps. We had joined a portion of Facebook, called "Facebook Dating". As you would expect, we were both weary of exactly who we were talking to on the other side of the screen. Taking a chance, we decided to meet each other in person. We were both scared of getting hurt, but it was something we bonded over and could relate to. Neither of us had expected anything to come out of a few phone conversations, but we soon started to realize we had similar likes, dislikes, values, and dreams. Little did we know that our dreams would soon be shared and to be each other's forever. Our first few dates consisted of going to car races and haunted houses. This was the most fun either of us have had. Seeing each other a few days a week started turning into almost every day. After going to a haunted house, Michael asked Kaylee to be his girlfriend. Although this may sound cute, Michael thought it was really funny to text Kaylee to pop the question. I promise, he did ask in person after, and it was a little more romantic. Since then, we have been each other's best friends. As many know, none of it has been perfect, but we have learned to have faith in each other and in God. We have been each other's shoulder to cry on and the first person to celebrate each other's success. There is no one else that could make falling in love so easy. In what felt like a dream, under a sunset that seemed to be Cheryl's gift from Heaven, Michael proposed at Horsetooth Reservoir. So, here we are! We might have met online, but after knowing each other's stories and friends, it is crazy to think about how many times our lives may have crossed without even realizing. God really has a special hand in bringing two people together and we are so thankful how he has created our journey this far.

FAQs
Question
How are including those who have passed?
Answer
We will have a table dedicated to our loved ones who are unable to attend. We understand that there are many people in our lives who would have loved to join us in celebrating. We will have a book on a table to write names of friends or loved ones who would have loved to celebrate with us. This way all of those who have passed before us will be able to have their names signed in attendance too. If you would like to bring a photo to have us place in the book, we will have a folder to place photographs in. After the wedding, we will place those photos in our book.
